(C1.2) - Do not express discriminatory or otherwise offensive views. This is no place for racism, religious hatred, ageism, sexism, homophobia, gender or disability discrimination.
I believe RPUK to be an inclusive and safe space for people to enjoy their roleplay without being discriminated against.
You used the term "gay boy" in an offensive manner multiple times as your intention was to insult. Do you think that prejudice against a sexuality should be welcome on the server?
You don't need to educate me on the rule, i have been warned for it before and added it into a ticket when i used to use a certain word, and when i was told about it, i stopped.
I do believe RPUK is an inclusive safe space for people and works as an escape that we all sometimes take for granted , but in my honest opinion, calling someone "gay" is a bit of a reach at breaking C1.2.
Now, i don't know you personally or know your beliefs or whatever and i understand that everyone is different but this wasn't targeted at you in anyway or specifically just you, the amount of times i have had jokes with yourself and other cutlass people and words being used in terms of "batty" or calling people gay is numerous, so i find it a bit of a reach , now that when i am in an RP beef with cutlass, they are magically offended by it.
Now do i think calling someone gay can come across as offensive? depends which way you take it, personally I don't but ofc everyone is different, do i think its on a fine line? Ofc, and staff reading / seeing this are probably seeing that something is brought up with me being "controversial again" and seeing i am pushing a fine line, but honestly, i didn't think this would've been at the time, considering the context that myself and many other cutlass has shared in these "insults" before.
Are you truly offended? Or Are you reporting because Cutlass cant handle the beef within roleplay against OCG"
We're all grown adults here.
Its what it feels like, and from what i have heard from a couple certain cutlass members who i am friends with and disagree with the report, they are saying there's quite a few people licking their lips and quite "happy" at the fact that you might get me banned, which i find a bit of a "forum win mentality" but this is isn't relevant to this so ill end it here.
"The clip does speak for itself, me calling you gay now you are acting like i am going around using the F SLUR or the B Slur (as linked above) and being openly homophobic to a bunch of people but I aint."
So because you don't view it as bad as other homophobic insults, it's acceptable?
I guess staff will decide on this, and whatever way it goes I accept, at least i know that is across the line, at the time i personally didn't feel like it was.
I have been in this community a very long time and i have seen reports in the past have been looked at and if it was OOC discrimination then yes, 100% ban me on the spot and never welcome me here again as that isn't acceptable, but this was purely said within RP to a group of people who i felt wouldn't take offence to this, it was all purely roleplayed in character and in future i will refrain from using word or insults around you.
In the video you can see my reasoning behind my character being "homophobic" but do i openly go around and do it all the time? No, now in the past i did and i done it a numerous amount of times where it lead me to a slippery slope lets say and was warned about it, and when i was warned, i stopped it big time and only ever brought it up when in a what could you say a "safe space/controlled environment" of people as to ensure i am roleplaying like that around people i believe understand my character in-depth enough to realise that it is my character and not me.
and you know it yourself, not once in the conversation did you mention "Matthew" until i brought it up, and you used that was a scape goat from the conversation as you were caught red handed.
